One way hes doing this is through the continued development of three mobile incident command centers: vans outfitted with the technologies schools need in the face of a crisis.

Recently, on my podcast Unpacking the Backpack , I discussed this topic in detail after revisiting a blog post I wrote in 2021.

So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science!
